Which means that the pitcher must have “stuff’—and lots of it. But the fast ball is still the No. 1| requisite. - After a pitcher has it | working he must develop a curve, then a change of pace. Special pitching tricks like the screwball or sinker ball come later—after long, long practice. | The three chief types of deliv- ery are overhand, side-arm and underhand. Overhand is most gen- erally used and some good pitch- ers employ all three. Although every pitcher uses a slightly dif- ferent grip and a slightly differ- ent delivery, there are general pitching fundamentals. Some Standard Details The ball is usually gripped be- tween the first and second fingers and the thumb, The fast ball is usually thrown with a snap of the ‘wrist. The curve ball, thrown | with an outward rotation of the hand and arm, spins out of the hand between the ¢humb and forefinger, Both deliveries should | look alike as much as possible. Wise batters will spot any devia- tion, A screwball, or reverse curve, is gripped in much the same man- ner but is released with an in- ward rotation of the hand e e o arm, with the wrist snapped a quarter turn inward. The ball usually breaks down and inward For the knuckle ball, used as a floater for change of pace, some pitchers put the joints of the in- dex and second finger on the ball. Others use the ends of the same fingers. The ball floats up to the plate, breaking sharply a few feet in front. Many pitchers specialize in this throw and use it very effec- tively. Next to throwing effectively, a pitcher’s best asset is a retentive memory. By being able to remem- ber a batter's hitting habits and weaknesses the pitcher himself can change many potential base- hits to weak grounders or pop flies by “puttin’ 'em where the sticker doesn’t like ‘em.” The Weak Spots Most vulnerable points of any and | batter are the four corners of the| While the big league shines its| ITS TIME TO CHANGE YOUR HEAVIER LUBRICANTS!
